Anybody drink Gin?

[ronk]

I’ve just been give a bottle of Renegade Gin for my birthday tomorrow’- what should I expect when I eventually open it (I have to go out to a function tomorrow evening so won’t get to try it on my actual birthday!)

 

[mmm-five]

Do you drink gin on ice or mix it with tonic?

Just on ice should give you a clean, crisp, herby taste with a bit of a spicy kick afterwards.

If you add a load of tonic, then all bets are off, and it will taste of whatever tonic you pair it with.

I drink new/good gins with just ice, and cheaper/session gin (always a doublet least) with 1/2 a small bottle of Fever Tree Mediterranean tonic for a longer drink.

I’ll certainly try just with ice
Mediterranean Tonic is on the shopping list now.

Gin goes with all sorts of fruits and of course tonic. Ice is a definite yes too.

I’ve never tried this “Renegade “ variety but looking forward to a try - I’m just at the end of a case of Olive Cromwell from Aldi
